Hi, I have a Samsung DLP model HLP5063. I have contacted Samsung about the two round shadows in the middle of my screen, they are the size of 50 cent pieces. They never returned my call, meanwhile, today the TV turned itself off after taking forever for the picture to come on, after turning itself off, I turned it back on and heard a loud pop. I then had audio, but no video. So, I now have a TV which does not work, i imagine I still have the spots, but I do not have a picture to see them. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience which they would like to share?
i changed the lamp, but i still have the two shady spots in the middle of the screen about the size of 50 cent pieces. does anyone know if this has anything to do with the color wheel? could it have burn spots on it which may cause this?
